Location: Chicago, U.S.-based. Residential Project.
Project Description: This design was developed for a young professional client living in a downtown Chicago condo. The client requested a calm, artful, and inviting living space to relax and entertain friends after a long day. The concept balances contemporary forms with rich materiality and natural light to create an elevated yet welcoming atmosphere. Neutral tones, subtle textures, and bold artwork layer the space with personality while maintaining an understated elegance. A custom-designed media wall anchors the space with a sculptural frame, integrated lighting, and vertical oak fluting that offers both visual depth and functional storage—making it a true centerpiece of the room.
